The following is a brief introduction to the topic:

Christian beliefs provide a unique view on decisions made at the end of life, particularly those that involve suffering or pain. In this ethical analysis, we will examine George’s situation, his decision, and the Christian worldview’s perspective on end-of-life decisions. The Christian story will be used to examine George’s suffering, and how he might view it. Emphasis is placed on the brokenness of this world and hope for resurrection.

Interpreting George’s Suffering in Light of the Christian Narrative with an Emphasis on the Fallenness of the World

Christian thought holds that because the world is imperfect and fallen, it will always be filled with suffering and death. George’s situation, where he is suffering from cancer, is an example of the fallenness of the world. Christian thought does not view suffering as punishment, or something that is caused by sin. Instead, it sees it as the result of the fallenness and corruption of this world.

George could interpret his suffering, as a Christian might, as an opportunity for spiritual growth or a test to prove one’s faith. He might see his cancer as a cross to bear, and an opportunity to share in Christ’s suffering. The Christian worldview teaches that suffering can have a redemptive purpose, and George might see his suffering as a way to unite his suffering with Christ’s suffering.

Interpreting George’s Suffering in Light of the Christian Narrative with an Emphasis on the Hope of Resurrection

Christian beliefs also provide hope when faced with suffering and death. They teach that death isn’t the end but instead the beginning of eternity. As a Christian George might view his suffering through the lens of hope for resurrection where he can be reunited his family and enjoy eternal life.

According to the Christian view, death does not mean that life is over. It simply means that it’s time for eternal life. George may find comfort from the idea that death does not mean the end of life, but is a transition to eternal life. The hope that he will rise again could give him the courage to endure his pain with faith and courage.

Christian Ethics and George’s Decision

In light of the Christian worldview, George’s decision to request for physician-assisted suicide would be considered a violation of the sanctity of life. Christian belief teaches us that God gave life to each of us and it’s not in our power or our control to end our lives, nor the lives others. Christians believe life is sacred. We have an obligation as moral beings to maintain and protect that.

Christian belief teaches us that pain can serve a redeeming purpose, and it is an opportunity for growth spiritually. George’s decision to end his life prematurely might be seen as a rejection of this opportunity to unite his suffering with Christ’s suffering and to grow spiritually.
